Pattern Description: Woman's/Misses Tee
Pattern Sizing: Womans Plus and Misses

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? I made tees in conjunction with the video class. I also have extensive sewing experience and did not actually use the included instructions. It is a simple pattern though and steps are logical.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It has a much closer fit than I like. However, that's personal taste and the pattern is easy to size up.

Fabric Used: Polyester Lycra knit from Gorgeous Fabrics

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did a full bust adjustment and relaxed the fit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will definitely sew again. I really like this pattern.

Conclusion: This pattern is flattering, stylish and well designed. I think it is deceptively simple. The slightly curved back yoke and two piece front yoke give a very nice line and interest at the top. The curved hemline is also flattering. It's very usable by changing the neckline, sleeves, and looser or tighter fit. One of the better patterns I've seen in a while. I'd highly recommend it.
